They don't advertise it as a widegamut screen, but it remains to be seen. It will be interesting when the reviews starts to arrive on this. The screen might not have all the image controls and fancy features as the 2690 and maybe not option to do both sRGB and widegamut (very few can below $2000), but if you don't need it in your work, it might prove well worthy to check out. Seems like an interesting screen.
If you don't need to view aRGB and CMYK color space, then its hard to justify a wider gamut. But even if it should have wider gamut, it has a sRGB preset according to manual, so you might be able to dummify it anyway to sRGB!
Thanks for the info. I'm kinda skeptical about what the so-called "sRGB" mode does though. From the sparse manual details it looks like it might just be another color balance preset. I doubt there's actual mapping from the wider gamut (if the panel really has it) to sRGB gamut being performed there.In other words, RTFM, right?
sRGB is a colorspace. For a widegamut to be able to limit itself to that space, it cannot use the whole gamut. If the whole wide gamut was active, you wouldn't have sRGB now, would you? Therefore you know, by checking the deepest color that the gamut is limited. The screen have 256 shades per color regardless of colorspace. Mapping of these colors goes through the monitors internal LUT (lookup table). When using a sRGB preset, the monitor have hardware mapped the 16,7M colors within the limited gamut. Sometimes marketing departments don't understand what is important to geeks...Dell specifies 16ms for the 2007WFP when it is actually 8ms and their new 2707WFP is wide gamut but that wasn't mentioned in the specs at release.
